Seeing Things Differently
Chapter 8
Recap {"Zastin-san came by earlier and informed me that your dad and himself will be joining us." Mikan says casually.
Hearing this Rito begins to panic, "What, Gid's coming over... for dinner... tonight?"
What luck? This'll be my chance to gather information for Saki-sama. Rin thinks.
Mikan then takes Rito from Lala and heads towards the stairs, "Yes, which means you need to go get ready." They walk up the stairs, "I've already set up the bath for you and I also set out some clothes for you." She says as she leads Rito to the bathroom, "If you need I'll help you get dressed too." She says with a very small blush as she opens the bathroom door.
"That wont be necessary Mikan, but thanks for your help so far." He says as he walks into the bathroom. Mikan closes the door behind him and heads back down stairs. I wonder why Gid is coming over? Rito asks himself as he undresses. He then feels his way to the bathing area and takes a shower then gets in the tub.
A few hours earlier Zastin is walking out of the shower of his apartment when his phone rings, "Hello?" He asks answering it, "Oh, hello Dr. Mikado. What can I do for you?" He asks with a smile. His smile then turns into a frown, "They got to Rito-dono, are you positive?" He asks fearfully, "I see, Gid-sama will not be happy to learn of this. Thanks for informing me." Zastin hangs up the phone and heads towards the intergalactic communicator.
In the Devilukean throne room Gid is sitting lazily in his throne drinking a glass of wine when his intergalactic communicator goes off, "Yes Zastin, what is it?" He asks. "WHAT I THOUGHT I EXTERMINATED THAT RACE?" He shouts shattering the glass in his hands causing the wine to spill to the floor. "So, they have been spotted near Earth and have gotten to Yuuki Rito?" He says with an irritated expression. "Alright I'm coming to Earth, go to the house and inform them that you and I will be coming over for dinner. I need to talk with the boy and I want him to be relaxed when I explain the situation to him." He says as he gets up, "I'll be over momentarily." He says as the communicator turns off and he heads to his private hangar.}
Hours later at the Yuuki household Mikan's voice could be heard from down stairs, "Rito dinner's ready and Lala-san's dad is here."
Rito exits the bathroom dressed in a black shirt and blue jeans, "Alright I'm coming down." He shouts as he walks to the stairs, but he tumbles down after taking the first step. I got to remember to grape the railing when I go down. He thinks to himself as he rubs his neck and lower back. Rito then freezes when he hears the voice of Gid Deviluke.
"Yuuki Rito, how are you my boy?" He says as he approaches the fallen boy, "Let me get a good look at you, my how you've grown." Gid says as he grabs Rito's cheeks and looks into his eyes, Yes, this is definitely their handy work. He thinks as he continues to look into the eyes of the blind boy.
Feeling Gid's child like hands on his cheeks Rito just stares at where he heard his voice, What is going on? Is Gid being nice to me? It must be some kind of trick or something.
"Well, let's eat. I'm looking forward to your sister's cooking, I heard it's very good." Gid says as he lets go of Rito and walks into the dinning room.
Zastin then walks up to Rito and helps him up, "Are you alright Rito-dono?" He asks.
"I'm fine Zastin, let go eat." Rito answers then is led to the table by Zastin.
Rito, now eating his dinner without an issue, listens to the many conversations around him, but not really hearing what they're saying, one of which is between Rin and Zastin.
"Zastin-sama, may I ask you some questions?" Rin asks.
"Umm, sure."
"Where do you live and where do you work?" She ask. Zastin answers the two questions and Rin writes them down in a small notebook. "Thank you Zastin-sama."
"So, Papa." Lala draws the attention of her father, "Why did you come all the way here to have dinner with us?" She asks.
"I wanted to tell Yuuki Rito something." Gid says setting down his eating utensil.
Oh boy, what is it now? The boy in question thinks as he takes a bite of food.
"A race of aliens that was supposedly exterminated years ago have been spotted near Earth and we believe they are responsible for your loss of sight." He says and then hears the sound of someone choking. He turns and sees that it is Rito. Earthlings. Gid thinks as the others start panicking.
Rin rushes over to Rito, turns him away from the table and performs the Heimlich maneuver on him until the peace of food he was choking on comes out. She then places him in his seat then returns to her chair. "Thank you to who ever saved me." A red as a tomato-faced Rito says gasping for air. I'm glad I was saved... but what I felt on my back... Rito thinks then shakes his head. "You where saying Gid." He says looking nowhere in particular.
"Right." Rito looks in the direction Gid's voice came from, "The race that is responsible for your loss of sight is called...DaGrays."
A/N The alien race is called DaGrays not The Grays, they are similar but very different and Gid will explain it next time. Fav/Follow if you want. As I've said before I'm always open to ideas so leave a review. Thanks.
